nHis features were even fairer against the street-light. Her heart beat faster, and her breath quickened as he approached.

n

"What do you want?

" His voice was colder than the night.

nSavannah laughed at herself, inwardly. He came to see her not because his heart had softened. She calmed down and said,

"you know, I want to go back to Zagreb Film.

"

n

"I said, no. Now, get out of here,

" said Dylan impatiently.

n

"I won't go back until you promise,

" she looked at him.

nDylan took a few steps forward, looking at her in a condescending attitude. Savannah trembled slightly under his cold eyes. Before she could react, he pinched her jaw with his fingers and said in a chilling voice,

n

"Savannah, you're so shameless for a job?

"

nYou're so shameless…

nHe was right. She was shameless. But for her father's justice, she didn't mind being looked down upon by him as long as she could give the Rowe family a lesson.

n

"I just want to get my job back. It's your right to refuse me, and it's my right to wait.

" Savannah did not struggle but looked up at him with an air of neutral calm.

n

"Whatever,

" he said, with a sneering look on his face.

nThen he turned around and walked towards the villa, leaving the wind and rain to her.

nJudy was surprised to see him come back alone. Looking out of the window, she found Savannah still standing alone at the door.

n

"Sir, Savannah…

" She thought Mr. Sterling would take Savannah in.

n

"Since she likes to stand in the rain, let her be. Don't give her an umbrella or ask her in!

" Dylan snapped, knowing that Judy always called about Savannah. With that, he went upstairs with a dark face.

nJudy could only swallow the words.

nDylan returned to the bedroom and slammed the door. Outside the window, the rain grew louder, splattering on the window, and made Dylan more annoyed. He took a glance at the direction of the gate.

nThe little woman still stood silently in the wind and rain. She turned up her coat collar against the cold wind, but she couldn't stop the rain from hitting her face, her body shivering silently as if she would be blown down the next moment.

nDylan took his eyes back and drew the curtains.

nOut of sight and out of mind!

nHe went to bed and closed his eyes, but he found it was so difficult to sleep.

nHe tumbled restlessly in his bed, his mood fretting with impatience.

nDamn it.

n***

nWhen the rain grew worse, it was hard to see anything distinctly in the gathering gloom. Even the security guards patrolling the residential area had gone back to their security booth.

nSavannah did not know what time it was. Her whole body was frozen and numb by the cold wind and rain. Before, she knew to stomp her feet to keep warm, but slowly, her nose and cheeks became completely numb. The rain-drops were still falling, large and heavy, and she could hardly keep her eyes open.

nShe was soaked through, and her shoes felt like small ponds full of water.

nFor a moment, she thought it would be better to go back, but she remembered her father and gritted her teeth.

nWhen she wondered how much longer she could wait, she made out a dim shape in the gloom. She rubbed her eyes and saw the figure holding an umbrella, approaching her.

nDylan stopped in front of the little woman. She looked so deadly pale, like a poor kitten, that no vestige of color was to be seen in her face.

n

"Crazy girl,

" he mumbled, gnashing his teeth.

nSavannah's eyes lit up.

nHe finally came out. She did not stand all night in vain.

nShe tried to make herself smile, but her legs pained, and there was a mist before her eyes--she passed out.

nDylan threw an arm around her waist quickly and pulled her into his arms so that she didn't fall. He touched her feverish head, frowning, and then immediately picked her up, striding into the villa.

n***

nIn the master's bedroom, the second floor

nUnder the care of Judy, Savannah changed into a clean dress and took some medicine. In the soft, warm bed, she raised herself on her elbows,

"thank you…

"

nShe felt extreme familiarity and closeness towards the middle-aged woman in front of her. She also knew that three years ago, she had spent many days with Judy, who treated her as her daughter.

n

"Not at all, have a good rest,

" Judy said softly, and her eyes were red.

nSavannah nodded weakly, looking down at her nightdress,

"Judy, the dress...

"

n

"This is yours. You left a lot of clothes when you lived here three years ago, and the things you used in your daily life are all still here,

" Judy said softly.

nJust then, the bedroom door opened, and Dylan came in.

n

"Sir, Savannah has taken some medicine. If it doesn't work out later, I'll call Dr. Joe.

" Judy said and closed the door as she left.

nThe air in the bedroom became hostile and unfathomable.

nHe looked quietly at the little woman huddled up in bed. Her face became a little rosy after a hot bath, and she changed into a white silk nightdress, like a beautiful lily.

n

"You can sleep here today. I'll ask the driver to take you back tomorrow morning,

" Dylan said drily and turned to leave.

nSavannah bit her lip, jumped out of bed with all her strength, rushing to him. She threw her arms around his waist from behind, pressing herself tightly against him!

nIn an instant, he was frozen. Her arms folded so tightly around his waist, like vines, that he couldn't free himself for a moment.

nHer body was delicate, and her bosom so soft against his back, gently alluring him.

nHe held back the heat from his lower abdomen and clutched his hand.

n

"Why? You have a boyfriend and are still so close to other men. Does your boyfriend know you're so frivolous? For a job, Miss Schultz?

" He said with insulting sarcasm.

n

"I know I shouldn't have said those hurtful words to you... I didn't want to... Can't you forgive me? Don't go, please...

" She spoke piteously with her last reserves of strength. With that, she collapsed as her energy finally gave out and fell down on the carpet.
